Azerbaijan-Turkey-Pakistan: A New Axis Of Evil Against Armenia and India

 Azerbaijan-Turkey-Pakistan: A New Axis Of Evil Against Armenia and India 

Artsakh verifiably has consistently been important for Armenia, and when the locale was added to Persian and Arab rule, Artsakh (later known as Nagorno-Karabakh), was administered by Armenian honorability. 

Following the breakdown of the Russian Empire during World War I, Transcaucasia turned into the phase of battles between different nations over regions. In 1918, the Ottomans drove by Enver Pasha, shaped the "Multitude of Islam" in the Caucasus so as to proceed with their destruction against the Armenians and construct a land connect with other Turkic countries to make a Pan-Turkic domain extending from Turkey to Central Asia and past. 

The topography of Armenia, situated at the focal point of the Turkic public has consistently been a hindrance to Turkey's expansionist fantasy about bringing together the Turkic countries. In 1921 as the Bolsheviks combined their capacity in South Caucasus, Joseph Stalin officially moved the Armenian-populated good countries of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to Soviet Azerbaijan to attempt to assuage Turkey. 

In spite of the fact that the Armenians in Artsakh kept on wanting reunification with Armenia, the contention was to a great extent torpid during the Soviet period. During the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the contention was rejuvenated. The Armenians of Artsakh announced their freedom as the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh expecting to reunify with the recently autonomous Armenia. 

The announcement was dismissed by the recently free Azerbaijan, prompting the Nagorno-Karabakh War from 20 February 1988 to 12 May 1994, bringing about a truce in May 1994 with the destruction of Azerbaijan and the true autonomy of the Republic of Artsakh. Today, Artsakh is a semi-official vote based system and has lasting political missions in Armenia, Australia, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, and one for Middle East nations situated in Beirut.

Artsakh Armenians have appeared to the world that a country's will for opportunity and freedom is expensive yet not feasible. In any case, Azerbaijan proceeded with its ill will and bigoted declaration against the Armenians. To merge its capacity and arm itself, Baku had occupied with vital relations with both Turkey and Pakistan. 

A Turkish-Azerbaijani-Pakistani "Special first night" 

Turkey has been helping Pakistanwhen it comes to Kashmir, and Islamabad gives back by vowing backing to Turkey in its forceful arrangements in South Caucasus and Western Asia. 

During his discourse in the United Nations General Assembly, Turkish President Raceb Tayyib Erdogan told that the Kashmir "struggle" must be referenced and it is a "copying issue" that compromises the security in the locale. "We are supportive of explaining this issue through exchange inside the structure of the UN goals and particularly in accordance with the desires for the individuals of Kashmir" Erdogan included. 

Accordingly T.S. Tirumurti, India's lasting agent to the UN advised Turkey to "figure out how to regard the sway of different countries" (Hindustan Times 23/9/2020). India denounced this announcement and said that it "comprises net obstruction in India's interior undertakings and is totally unsatisfactory. Turkey ought to figure out how to regard the sway of different countries and think about its arrangements all the more profoundly". 

Coming to Azerbaijan, Pakistan was among the principal states to perceive Azerbaijan's freedom in 1991 and from that point forward is the main nation that has not set up discretionary relations with Armenia. In 2003, a safeguard arrangement was marked among Baku and Islamabad which permits Azerbaijani military staff, specifically uncommon power units, to participate in yearly military penetrates alongside Pakistani military. 

The primary explanation driving Pakistan-Azerbaijan politico-military participation in Baku's hatred to Yerevan over the emergency regarding Artsakh. With regards to Kashmir, President Ilham Aliyev expressed during his gathering with the then PM of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif in October 2016; "Azerbaijan completely underpins the settlement of the Kashmir issue dependent on the significant goals of the UN Security Council". (The Diplomat, 13/1/2017). There is no uncertainty that Pakistan will attempt to make extra advances into the safeguard market of Azerbaijan, as Islamabad is attempting to look for accomplices to counter India in the UN. 

Then, as indicated by FreeNews.Am, according to a telephonic discussion between two local people in the flanking area close to Artsakh, it was accounted for that two Azerbaijanis referenced about the presence of Pakistanis in the domain. In Baku, Azerbaijanis raised Pakistan's banners "in appreciation for Pakistan's help to Azerbaijan in its battle against Armenia". This would not be astounding as Pakistani and Afghani "Mujahideens" were enlisted in the Azerbaijani armed force during the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) freedom war (1990-1994) pursued by Artsakh Armenians against Azerbaijan. 

How India and Armenia can adjust the Ankara-Baku-Islamabad pivot? 

Both Armenia and India have a common worry about the developing organization between Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Pakistan. Islamabad being sponsored by its two accomplices attempted to solidify its situation on Kashmar while Baku does likewise over Artsakh. Additionally, the Pan-Turkic yearnings of both Ankara and Baku should concern the Hindus in India. Ankara employes a container Islamic and Pan-Turkic dream to bring together all the Turkic countries and grows its impact over Central Asia, something that compromises India's public security and regional uprightness. 

At the same time, Armenia ought to build up a vital association with India. On different events Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinian announced that Armenia completely shields India's situation on the Kashmir (News.Am, 27/9/2020). In September 2019, Pashinyan had a gathering at UNGA meeting with his Indian partner, PM Narendra Modi and both reaffirmed to reinforce the financial and political ties between the two nations. To reinforce the military ties, in March 2020, India and Armenia marked a $40 million worth arrangement for the offer of four Swathi weapon finding radar (WLR) stations. 

A WLR is intended to recognize the direction of a big guns shell. Utilizing the distinguished way, one can limit on a foe ordnance firebase, and direct return fire to effectively demolish it. (Delhidefencereview, 29/3/2019). In addition, the Yerevan City Council affirmed a proposition in April to introduce a sculpture of Indian autonomy saint Mahatma Gandhi in the Armenian capital (Panorama.Am, 28/4/2020). 

At the point when I was in New Delhi, in Febrauary 2020, in my discourse at the global gathering "Basic liberties: National and International Issues and Challenges" I have expressed that so as to adjust the Turkish-Azerbaijani-Pakistani hub, Armenia and India must improve key and security connections and organize in worldwide discussions. Both are beeing undermined by Turkey's expansionist arrangements and are anxious to contain it. There is a dread that Turkey with Pakistan's assistance may send Syrian hired soldiers to Kashmir and take part in fear exercises. Additionally, given Pakistan's help to Baku, some Armenian administrators are moving to censure Pakistan's arrangement on Kashmir. This can be a chronicled second if the Indian parliament pushes ahead and perceives the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
